A single voice can
easily be ignored while many voices with a single message cannot.
Representatives of organizations, coalitions, etc. tend to have greater
opportunity to present their message to those in positions of power. A
coalition gives its appraisers with similar problems, issues or concerns a
better chance to have their voice heard and heeded.

The Virginia Coalition of Appraiser
Professionals is an active group with presence and participation
in:

Virginia Real Estate Appraiser Board Meetings

Network of State Appraiser Organizations
(NSAO)

Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials
(AARO)

The Appraisal Foundation Advisory (TAF)
Committee Meetings

We are active with
State legislation impacting appraisers. Some legislative issues we
introduced/supported and lobbied at the State Capital include:

AMC Regulations

Customary and Reasonable
Fees

AMC Surety
Bonds 30 Day payment from initial
delivery

We introduced legislation
prohibiting the use of staff appraisers by AMCs to complete Appraisal Reports
and more recently spoke to the Virginia Housing Commission concerning the
SB1575, which would eliminate fees paid to the appraiser by AMCs from the
C&R calculations.

VaCAP needs your
support to continue to
speak for all appraisers
in Virginia
